recent years, the CC/CPSU has perseveringly and consistently
 followed the fundamental principle of unifying the ranks of
 the communist movement, and overcoming the consequences of
 the schismatic activity of the MAO Tse-tung group.

8. The CC/CPSU took into consideration the special
 position of the Communist Party of Japan and the impossibility
 for the Communist Party of Indonesia to participate
 in the Conference in view of the difficult circumstances
 which have taken shape. The CC/CPSU could not fail to take
 into consideration the special conditions of the Workers'
 Party of Vietnam [Lao Dong Party] and, to a certain extent,
 the Korean Labor Party. Therefore, consultations with
 these fraternal parties were devoted primarily to explaining
 the anti-Leninist, chauvinistic course of the MAO Tse-tung
 group, which is aimed at splitting the communist movement.

9. A meeting between a CPSU delegation and the Communist
 Party of Japan took place in Tokyo. It laid the
 basis for the normalization of relations, as reflected in
 a joint communique. The Politburo is taking further steps
 to strengthen the improvement in relations which has been
 achieved between our parties. It is important to emphasize

 conducting an active struggle against the policies of the
 MAO Tse-tung group. And although it did not participate
 in the Budapest meeting and so far has not agreed to participate
 in the Conference, it has not come out against it.

10. The Politburo carried out important work in the
 same direction with the Korean Labor Party and the Workers'
 Party of Vietnam.

11. Joint, coordinated actions of the fraternal
 parties of Bulgaria, Hungary, East Germany, Poland, the
 USSR and Czechoslovakia played an important part in the
 preparations for the Consultative Meeting. They systematically
 coordinated their actions and carried out not only
 a common political line but also several joint organizational
 measures in preparing for the Consultative Meeting
 in Budapest.

12. Our major goal during this period was to enroll
 the maximum number of parties to participate in the Consultative
 Meeting, and to secure their approval to call
 the Conference. As a result of the intensive work carried
